Restonra — Restaurant in Chandler

Never heard of Bengal so was excited to try something new. (Bengali I learned has a complex history that resulted in a split of it's people between modern India and Pakistan.)

While the food was good and made fresh, the owner(?) Who served me was so 1) what came off as rude in the beginning and 2) pushy, demanding I leave him a review before I was even done eating.

For 1, I hope it's because a cultural/language barrier and also because I had accidentally broached a culturally sensitive nerve by asking if the food was similar to Nepalese food. But think, saying no to things on the menu I tried to order, rolling eyes to questions about what these very foreign sounding things were in the menu, upset I wanted to dine in and telling me I couldn't sit at the table in the back. Maybe rudeness was just in my head? I almost didn't even order after the frustrating interaction over the menu but his place was completely empty so I wanted to support a small biz owner.

Odd though was this flip to suddenly being super nice when he brought out the food. Which was pretty good in that it was fresh but about average compared to other samusas I had tried. Tried to strike up Convo, asked me questions about me, asked about the food then when I said good he demanded I leave him a review right then. When I said I would after done eating he left, brought the menu back, pointed to the name of the restaurant and said write a review now. Again I said after I'm done. He rolled his eyes then left.

Really bizarre experience. Oh yeah, and for $22 for 2 dishes, I left hungry. Went to eat at another...

My spouse and I dined at the establishment last night, initially feeling some hesitation due to the late hour on a Sunday. Upon entering the premises, I immediately noticed the impeccable cleanliness throughout, extending from the dining area to the kitchen. The attention to hygiene was commendable, with even the window frames appearing free of dust.

The proprietor kindly informed us that only select dishes were available, as they prioritize cooking with fresh ingredients and endeavor to minimize the use of frozen items. Therefore, I would recommend inquiring about their current offerings when visiting. Subsequently, we opted for the Samosa, Chicken Biryani with potatoes, and a curry-based egg dish. The spiciness level was rated at 2 out of 10, and I would advise against exceeding 3 unless you possess a tolerance for heat.

The food itself was nothing short of exceptional, exuding remarkable flavors and served in abundantly generous portions. To be frank, I have no complaints to voice; the staff exhibited politeness, and the quality of the food surpassed my expectations. As someone who is unreserved in expressing my opinions and occasionally prone to ranting about subpar establishments, I can confidently state that this particular dining experience exceeded all of my...

My first time here and I must lead off by saying I am a complete novice when it comes to Indian cuisine. So, take everything I say here with that in mind. I don’t know if this was prepared traditional or if it has been Americanized for our consumption. I ordered Bengali style Chicken Bunha. I will say I was pleasantly surprised with the flavor and heat in this dish. For the final $16.16 with tax price, it was a bit anemic in the meat column. Quantity was the right amount for a single lunch, but with all the restaurants around the competition is putting more in the plate for the money. I was the only person in the shop, my food was made fresh, although I’m certain the chicken was precooked and then reheated upon order. Nothing wrong there, just a notation. The young man behind the counter was very nice and he was also the cook. He deserves kudos for...
